Re: Original 56 prices for everything

One thing to remember is that the prices then were set by the dealer no window sticker and when buying a Packard or any independent car the number of dealers was limited in most areas. Therefore the buyer was at the mercy of the dealer as today except few places to get help on what would be the selling price or a good deal. This was how car dealers got to be classified as not the most honest people to do business with.
The above is my feeling and car dealers were not the people my father uncles and grandfather held up as role models
